Actually attacking with GFs sucks for the most part, using them after disc 1 is pretty much a waste of time, even for Eden. Especially for Eden.
True, Eden gives you a lot of damage, but summoning it takes both extra ATB time and extra real life time. If you've got Zell in the party, he can outdamage Eden by an order of magnitude if you don't suck. Renzokuken deals more than Eden even without a Lionheart finisher, and even if you get one of the shortest renzos (like 3-4 hits). Quistis' Shockwave Pulsar can break 9999 too. I've seen it deal 35k AoE damage in one hit.
Bahamut for being only GF with native ability x4, and also gives you access to forbidden magic refinement.
Diabolos for enc-none, mug, and both status and time magic refinement. Very useful for acquiring good magic to junction to whatever you need, especially in the early game
Quezacoatl for Card Mod and the Card command
Cactuar for enabling multiple permanent stat bonuses upon levelup
Cerberus for the double+triple party buff.
Doomtrain for the aoe multi-debuff
Most other GFs have one or two useful abilities though. I wouldn't want to be without most of them.
